"No pun intended," Kells said. "Everything falls into place and it's fun."

His latest venture was Kelsey Jam, a concert and food festival held April 28 at the Azura Amphitheater (formerly Sandstone) in Bonner Springs, Kansas, and day two of the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City. , Monday.

Despite the rainy weather, over 18,000 people attended Kelsey's Jam and the first 10,000 tickets sold out within 20 minutes.

Kelce Jam features musicians from Machine Gun Kelly, Tech N9ne, Rick Ross and Loud Luxury (Canadian DJ duo).

Kelce grew up in Cleveland next to Kelly, who was the same age, and knew the local TechN9ne in Kansas City.

"We want the rock stars to come," Kells said. "We understood".

Dressed in jeans and a matching hat, Kelce waved to the crowd as she solemnly pulled on the Vince Lombardi trophy before performing "Fight For Your Rights" with Kelly.

Medium Rare, the event production company behind Kelce Jam, and Kelce shared ownership of the festival, giving them more creative control than appearance fees or sponsorships.

Kelce received a 50/50 revenue share with Medium Rare, which handled the majority of marketing, sponsorships, ticketing, and other logistics.

Medium Rare used a similar 50/50 revenue split model when hosting parties with Shaquille O'Neal, Guy Fieri and Rob Gronkowski. During Super Bowl LVI week LVI, Kelce had 81 yards and a touchdown.

Shaq's House of Fun, Guy's Flavortown and Gronk Beach parties each attracted 4,000 to 10,000 fans.

Gronkowski's party was during the 2022 NFL Draft in Las Vegas, and Kelce enjoyed the atmosphere and met some executives in the middle of nowhere.

"It was absolutely electric," Kells said. "And I wanted to bring him to Kansas City."

Since the 2022 draft, Kelsey's profile has only risen.

He starred alongside his older brother and New Heights podcast host Jason Kelce and helped lead SNL to a rare opportunity to win another Super Bowl.

A total of 35 athletes have been honored over the show's 48 years, and those awards have traditionally gone to superstars like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Kelce's lasting impression on the show was the quality of the Monday-Saturday organization. He appreciated the professionalism of the staff and the way they put him at ease.

"It was an amazing experience," Kells said. "I can't describe it."

On the field, he finished the 2022 season with 1,338 receiving yards (110) and touchdowns (12).

It's the seventh straight season with 1,000+ yards, and no other tight end in NFL history has recorded three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons.

On-court production remains a focus for the 33-year-old tight end, despite plenty of off-court options that could land in a future Kelsey James draft or the Super Bowl.

"I love the game, man... also I have a great team that I work with and love to work with," he said. "So I can still call it, but I can definitely have fun."
